Enemies-to-lovers. Grumpy x Sunshine. Slow burn that will break your heart and then fix it again.

"Try not to embarrass me," Heeseung mutters under his breath as they stand before his parents. Jake smiles lazily. "Relax... husband. I'm a natural." In a world of wealth, reputation, and carefully curated perfection, Heeseung has always been in control. The perfect son. The perfect heir. The man who never makes mistakes. Until his parents decide it's time for him to get married. So Heeseung does the only thing he's never done before. He lies. "I'm already married." And just like that- he brings home the worst possible person. Jake. A reckless, sharp-tongued university student who has no idea how to behave-and no intention of learning. He isn't. Jake is chaos in its purest form. And now, they have to live together. Share space. Share a life. Share a bed. "This is temporary," Heeseung says coldly. Jake stretches out comfortably beside him. "Whatever helps you sleep." It doesn't help. Because Jake doesn't listen. Jake doesn't follow rules. Jake doesn't understand boundaries. "...You've never done that before, have you?" Silence. Because suddenly-this isn't just a deal anymore. This isn't just a lie. It's something dangerous. Something real. Something neither of them is prepared for. "You're crossing a line," Heeseung says, voice low. Jake tilts his head. "Then stop me." Heeseung closes his eyes with a deep breath, "Jake, behave." Jake's lips tremble just a breath away from Heeseung's. "Kiss me and don't stop." "If I kiss you, I'll ruin us." "Ruin me. Yourself. Us. Or stop." But that's the problem. Heeseung doesn't. And now-between forced smiles, stolen glances, and a marriage that was never supposed to mean anything-they're both starting to lose control.
